How do I get Adobe to stop asking to install another toolbar with every Flash player update?

Setting the default values to "opt in" on some funky toolbar duing a simple update procedure is an evil thing**. The only reason you keep this up is because you hope I will just once forget to uncheck this box and then I'lll be stuck with another useless toolbar on my browser. You know what? if it was the best thing since sliced bread, I'd already have it. If you were honest, you would set the default to off and maybe include some blurb about how great it was and I should check in on because my life would be changed forever for the better... No, I didn't think so. Anyway, here's the deal. Next time I see an update and it includes yet another thing to add on to my computer and the default value will result in said bit of trash being added to my computer, I will turn off updates alogether.
*This is known as a dark programing practice, Similar to how insurance companies get people to pay for flight insurance, or how LA Fitness will let you join with a single click, but you will need to wade through pages of crud and wait two weeks to get out.

Instead of turning off updates all together, I'd like to encourage you to enable automatic updates instead. While not completely silent, it does allow your flash installation to stay as secure as possible with minimal amount of noise. For the quarterly updates that do pop up UI, you can simply ignore them. After 30 days we'll update silently in the background. Here's a faq that describes the process.

How do I get iTunes to stop asking me to sign in?

How do I get iTunes to stop asking me to sign in? I will never buy from iTunes so there is no point in me signing in. A year ago I bought a couple of albums off iTunes but I was sorely disappointed that I did not have the hard copy and album art in a physical form. That made me resolve to only buy music (or any content) in solid form and from the artist themselves if possible. And this is not to mention the proprietary format of iTunes music which basically makes every purchase a lease and not an ownership. So with that said, it is very annoying that iTunes on start-up asks me to sign in, not once, but TWICE. For such a little thing, you would think it would be infuriating. But alas, I'm very tired of being bullied and that is all it is to me. ITunes is a marketing BULLY. I'll stop now before I start in on all the explicatives I can think of for iTunes Store.
CAN ANYONE HELP?

Try this...
Sign into the iTunes store and View account.
Uncheck Ping (to turn it off).
Also, iTunes prefs > Store. Uncheck Automatic downloads
And this is not to mention the proprietary format of iTunes music
Good thing we don't mention it then because AAC is not proprietary.
which basically makes every purchase a lease and not an ownership.
You mean exactly like when you purchase music on a CD (or from any other online store or source)?
You do own the actual CD, but for the music, all you are purchasing is a license to use it (a lease) in accordance with that license.

How do i get itunes to stop asking for my password repeatedly?

how do i get itunes to stop asking for my password repeatedly?

The solution (for me at least) is to keep trying the same password that I know is correct. For me, the fourth try of typing in the exact same password works in iTunes on my iMac. I have repeated this several times, and each time it works.
I also reset my password, but the same problem occurs in iTunes. I have to type in my password four times in iTunes to get it to work.
iTunes is having issues. I can log in easily on the first attempt every time to post on this message board and I can sign in easily on my iPad 2 to get app updates, but in iTunes on my iMac it takes four attempts and then it works.
Apple needs to release a statement to the public telling people abut this. For Apple to know that this iTunes problem exists and that it is causing literally thousands of people to be stressed out is callous and uncaring.

How do I get Outlook to stop asking me to use my confidential data for the key chain

how do I get outlook to stop asking me to use my confidential info stored in pop3.live.com in my keychain. It takes me three times to deny and then it comes back in about 5 minutes

In Outlook, open the account you created for your hotmail/outlook email account. Make sure you have entered your hotmail user id and password. Then Save. Next time Outlook asks to use your keychain, click "Always allow". The message should go away.

How do get it to stop asking?

Go to iTunes Settings, on the Devices tab you will see a list of all available backups. If you don't see the one you're looking for there it doesn't exist to restore your phone to it. Also, if you want to prevent iTunes from syncing automatically you can check "Prevent...from syncing automatically" on the Devices preferences screen.
If you do see the backup you are trying to restore to listed here, you should be able to right-click on the name of your phone and select it to restore from. When you right-click on your phone you should see these choices, where "iPhone" is the name of your phone:

How do I get iPhoto to stop asking to merge MobileMe Albums?

How do I get iPhoto to stop trying to merge MobileMe Albums? I don't have any! I never did!!! The problem is that each time I open iPhoto it wants to merge something that doesn't even exist.

When the "mobile Me" alert panel appears, select the "Learn more" button, not o.k. Ignore the web page that will open,
Then open the "iPhoto preferences > Accounts" panel and remove the Mobile Me account.
Also open the System preferences , go to the "Mobile Me" preferences and sign out of Mobile Me.

How can I get Adobe to take over my computer to help with lost photos?

I have lost photos going from PC to Mac in Lightroom. Have tried all the standard stuff. How do I get Adobe to log into my computer remotely to help?

Adobe Support is for problems installing and licensing their software on your computer, not to fix something you’ve done by mistake, unless you pay for their support which will likely cost quite a bit.
If you can describe your issue here in more detail perhaps a forum user can help you.

A family member passed me down their iPod, but how do I get it to stop asking me for their password?

Every time I want to update or download an app, it shows their email and asks for their password. Is there a way I can get it to stop and only ask for my password?

Apps will always be tied to the acount form which they were purchases and will always have to be updated using that account.
For itunes: you can sign out of the itunes account and sign into your under Settings.
You should read the manual:
